We have been sending out the Bernard Pivot questionnaire to all of our Cultyard participants. I think it’s appropriate for any creative scene – people who get in deep with their creative identity. We also thought it would be interesting to see what everyone had to say w/o all the basic and banal questions. So here is ROCK LOVE JEWELRY’S response. Also, some of what they will have in store!
